Life, relationships, and work would go

more smoothly if we knew how to practice communicating consciously. In

this highly regarded course, we will work through the emotional blocks

that keep you on autopilot, frustrated and far from connection.

From Tara Packer:
During my 20+ years in creative industries and recruiting, I witnessed too many uncomfortable situations

for both employers and employees that could have been circumvented. A shift needed to happen, and I wanted to be of greater service to both,so I began coaching. My work utilizes a combination of tools with a somatic approach which helps people work through emotional and trauma reprocessing.

When people experience emotional regulation (aka CALM), they can access their best cognitive functioning and overall health, moving from surviving to thriving. My one-to-oneclients have experienced freedom from lifelong phobias, pain, anxiety,
trauma and burnout. They are living what they once referred to as only a possibility. It is my greatest pleasure to facilitate and be part of their process, to witness their transformation and joy. I have studied in multiple holistic disciplines including EFT, TFT, NLP, IFS
